Ever in these places
my heart sacrifices itself,
and far from overwhelming,
the cross returns life to it...
Pillot, Paris
date penned on back 1834

A small image of the degrees of love.
[Heart of Jesus, hearts of Mary, Joseph, and John the Beloved Disciple,
hearts of all believers]
My God, grow my wings.
In loving the Cross one finds his Heart, for the Divine Love can not live
without suffering. Letaille, pl. 386
